'Allo Robert' - Waiting


I wish someone would give this old horse a home. He's lost a leg but it's there - hanging off the frame. He's waiting...waiting...waiting...

  1. I once toured the Barrango factory in South San Francisco where they make carrousels. It was delightful. This horse needs to go in for a check up.

  2. He looks lovely even without a leg. Those toys should be restorated to their original beauty.
    Happy Easter, Jilly!!

  9. I'm with Petrea, I think Allo Robert seems like a wonderful place to spend a lot of time just looking around and perhaps a few photos as well? You did a nice job on this old fellow Jilly.
    Happy Easter mon amie,
